The Duke of Cornwall and York's Colonial Tour - A Historic Farewell Luncheon
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this lithograph, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous occasion - the farewell luncheon on board the majestic "Ophir" ship. The date is Saturday, 16 March 1901, and it marks an important milestone in history as His Royal Highness, the Duke of Cornwall and York (later known as King George V), embarks on his colonial tour. The atmosphere aboard the vessel is filled with anticipation and well wishes for a safe return. As depicted in Samuel Begg's meticulous engraving, distinguished guests raise their glasses high to toast God-speed and bid farewell to their beloved royal visitor. The image captures not only the grandeur of the event but also showcases Edward VII's charisma and regal presence. This litho print serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era when royalty embarked on extensive tours to strengthen ties with colonies across the globe. It offers us a glimpse into an age where formalities were upheld with utmost reverence. Preserved within private collections, this artwork from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. It stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with royalty while reminding us of the rich tapestry that connects nations through shared history and mutual respect.
